... to Brent Doerzman, Rene Pirolt and Rich Voninski for a fantastic Shindig!
The attendance was great (and more women photogs this year than before!); great food, drink, lots of beautiful prints to see, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
I know I speak for the vast majority when I say it was a great time and I really appreciate all the work that the organizers put in.

Great time had by all! Thanks to those who attended and double for Brent, Rene, and Rich (and their wives!)!
It was great to see everyone. Awesome work on display too. Excellent print exchange!
Thanks everybody. I always tell Veronica that it was a real godsend when I hooked up with this group. So many people to talk with and pictures to see. Every year we have more people and new and old friends all are able to get together. I agree with Stan --> I am floored by the quality of the prints being shown. The stuff being shown by everybody was fantastic!
We are already thinking about ideas for next year and ways that we can get together throughtout the year. We also would like to be able to meet and engage with the people in the rest of our non-Denver region. You guys up for a Moab party? Bret E. - you ready for some company?
Thanks again everybody for making this a terrific event and I look forward to all the pics we will make this year so we can do it all over again!

Great job! You finally got the White Elephant figured out. You have set a high bar for next year!

It was a great event. I can't believe the quality of the images I saw...it really inspires me to reach for greater levels in my photography. I think it was great of Artists Showcase and Rod Hanna to provide prizes for the raffle. Jody, it was good to see you again last night.

I guess I am going to have to provide a print for next year

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended.
I counted around 60-70 people - quite a showing. It was great to put faces behind the forum posts, although I don’t think was able to meet everyone.
Ditto on the quality of the prints - they were fantastic! Kudos to everyone who brought prints for show and for the white elephant exchange.
I am already looking forward to next year…

Sounds Like I missed a good one this year, hopefully I can get out and meet a lot of you in the field in the coming months. until then.....................
It was great to put faces to names and to get to meet everyone. Plus the White Elephant was great! A great way to pick up some real quality artwork! Also thanks to Todd and Grant for the calendar samples.
I look forward to catching everyone again next year and hopefully to see you guys out in the field too!
